Do we need homework?
Dialogue
Julie: Well… what do you think, Alex?
Alex: I don’t think we need homework.
Julie: Why not?
Alex: We already study hard all day at school. I’m on the soccer team, so I have practice after school. When I get home, I’m really tired. I want to relax.
Julie: I understand.
Alex: What do you think, Julie?
Julie: I think that we need homework. It’s helpful to practice what we learned in class. Homework helps us remember and understand the information.
Alex: I guess that’s true. It good to review what you learned.
Julie: Exactly. Then, you can do better on tests. However, you shouldn’t study too hard.
Alex: Right. Taking breaks is also important.
So, Ananda, do we need homework
Ananda: I don’t think we need homework. Students should be able to choose what they need to review. For example, if you know you need to study math more, you could do math homework.

At school and after school.
If we have a lot of homework, we would have to cut our sleeping time.
We would feel tired and sleepy.
So, I don’t think we need homework.
